So it turns out there’s a fantastic source for real-world equipment you can easily adapt for use in your Splatoon cosplay!



Unfortunately that source is the slaughterhouse equipment manufacturing industry. :(

Can't you find real-world equipment to mock-up Splatoon weapons at a big box store? The Squiffer's just a Swiffer® WetJet™, the Squeezer's just a champagne bottle, and a whole bunch of them are easier to identify than those.

In this one, Mikey is a box turtle so he can hide entirely within his shell. That's pretty cool in my book.

I'm Team Raph because he was my favourite in the SNES game. Also I seem to lose splatfests more than I win, so I'm doing my part for Marina.

Yeah, he's still the cool techie. One last fact about the new generation of Mutant Turtles is that each turtle is based on a different breed of real life turtle. So they have different markings and different starting points for their anatomy and shell, to help distinguish them further than just their eye masks and weapon of choice. I don't have much interest in the new cartoon but I think that's a really cool thing.

That's all the TMNT news I remember from the article I read. I'm excited for the Splatfest since it seems like it's Nintendo experimenting with new ways to use the format. I'd like to see more semi-final/finals approaches, since that means more Splatfests for everyone.

Personally, I'm torn with this upcoming one because I don't know if I should vote based on my memories of the turtles or if I should vote based on these new iterations. Like, classic Leo over classic Ralph, but new Ralph over new Leo. Those smiles, man. Those smiles.

Hmmm. 8-year-old me is appeased. I will be happy to support Team Donny when the time comes.

I am similarly torn on Leo vs. Raph though.

The only reason I liked Don the most was because he was the only turtle worth anything at all in the original TMNT game for NES. The rest of them were just boomerang holsters.

I woke up one Saturday as a kid to find my big elder Golden Retriever just barking wild at a snapping turtle that would wandered into our driveway. The turtle wouldn't even retreat it into it's shell and my dog wouldn't stop hollering at it. it was an earthshattering stalemate between two great beasts.

so snapping turtles are very strong yes

Exploration is ill-advised.
I think it depends, there's multiple species of snapping turtles and some are kept as pets, others are aggressive.

I chose Leo since Raph is a dick and I hated having to play as him in the NES TMNT game.

Triggerfish is a loving wild map. Having never played Splatoon 1 the layout is super weird to me in a good way, feels really really distinct from anything else that's in the game

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

It’s just a great map. Really rewards situational awareness and gives you all kinds of approach options.

Splat zones on that map is indeed pretty weak but otherwise I was always happy to see it.

Tower Control on Triggerfish is a vast improvement over the same thing in Splatoon 1.

SZ is really lame if you have a weapon that can't hit the other splat zone from the one you're standing in, otherwise I feel like it's pretty fun to duel across the pit. Games do take a long time with that map/mode though, I feel like I've rarely had them end in KO

That was a really awful clam jump and just gave the enemy team an almost free power clam.

Well it's not really the Inkjet itself, so much as the only bad special in the game right now is Splashdown. Curling Bomb Launcher doesn't see use, but that's because it's tied to the Aerospray MG. But Inkjet seeing an increased use right now since it can put some pressure on the more popular team compositions.

Inkjet is a fairly hard special to use well. You put so much pressure on the enemy team with it if your aim is really good. You just can't go in headfirst, since that will get you killed. You should have seen launch Inkjet, that thing was a monster before it got overnerfed. Especially when combined with the old Ink Armor. (Ink Armor isn't as popular in competitive now because Heavy Splatlings and Sting Rays just knock it off instantly.)

Splashdown either needs to go up higher so you can use it to escape other explosive attacks, or happen faster so they have less time to shoot you out of the air. Or both
